yellow stool and prevacid

[spectda]

I started taking prevacid a few weeks ago for an esophogial ulcer (non-malignant), I had stomach aches for on about day four or five that went away. My heart burn and pain in my sides is gone.  My stools went from normal to yellow and remain that way. I contacted my doctor who acted like I was worrying too much and said this is normal because my food is going through me quicker then pre-previc acid. I called because the list of side effects said this was rare and could meant liver problems and too call the doctor. (I have hep c with moderate stage two liver fibrosis)
Just wondering if anyone else experience this.
Thanks

Thanks jmack-
It seems to be getting darker again. I had some weird stomach aches for a couple of days in the first week, but now I feel fine. I hope it's all good. Im going to see a specialist gi doc next week also so Ill definitely talk to him about it. good luck, I hope all is okay with you.

Hi spectda,

Ive been going through a similar issue.  I was on Prilosec for a few weeks but stopped after it made me feel weird.  My stool has been yellow for 3 months....

I go to see a specialist in 6 days... which cant be soon enough....
